Just for giggles, lets see if I can get a few pictures to post.
The first one is what my Longfields looked like when I picked them up from Bobby Long's house around the 2006 timeframe. The second is from the RCV website showing the current product which looks pretty nearly identical with the exception of the grease fitting. The third is the currently branded Longfield product offered by TG, these are clearly not the same product.
On a better look at the TG website their product does actually look pretty close to the original Longfield. The main obvious difference is the TG version has a 4340 chromoly internals while the RCV has the old 300M internals which is a stronger material. Not sure either are likely to break though. RCV offers a black oxide coating standard with nickel plating as an upgrade. It almost looks like the TG axles have a nickel coating from the pictures.
